your feet are really saying to you!

If your feet are dry and cracked, this may mean that you are standing on your feet to long  causing pressure points that the skin has built up some calluses to protect your body. Try soaking them in epsom salts if you don’t have time for a pedicure. This is the next best situation. The magnesium sulfate helps give them relief.

Your feet deserve to be pampered since they work hard all day to keep you upright and for some of you withstand the hard pounding of running on pavement without the cushion. Some stand all day in the same spot rubbing those piggy toes against the inside of your shoes or better yet standing in high heels that scream for relief!

Imagine being trapped inside a shoe with so much moisture that fungus starts to grow. I know this is gross but true. This can happen with individuals that need the support hose for strength during the work day. Let the tooties breathe in the fresh hair and air out your shoes overnight and give those toes a break. You can use anti-bacterial solution on the toes to fight fungus. If you start to see green then you need to see a Podiatrist closest to you in order to care for that fungus in your toenails. That condition can become serious enough that you could lose a toenail or certainly spreads to the rest of your family of toes. The medication is expensive and sometimes if the fungus has gone to far it will not be easily gone in a few weeks. So let’s prevent some problems shall we?

Better yet, try one of our newer pedicure offerings at Indulge, A Color salon 180 from ordinary on South George Street. We have a variety of pedicures that really cure the achy breaky feet. The bottom of the heels especially will be soaking in a mint solution that will help give a refreshing feeling to help invigorate those tired legs. Followed by a nice shaping and clipping of the toenails and sloughing off of the dead dry skin on the legs that has accumulated over the winter months allowing a fresh smooth appearance to emerge on the skin making your legs glow. The build up of calluses will be handled expertly by our specialists that know how to remove it.

 You will be offered the opportunity to add a reflexology pedicure treatment to your pedicure service that will reach to your nervous system to help relax the stress right out of your body. I have never seen so many people come out of the pedicure service looking like they were drugged with sleep. Go to this link to learn more, www.indulgesalon.com/services and scroll down to nail services. They come over to me to tell me how relaxing the experience was and that they have never felt anything like it before.

One of our clients said this:

I have had back problems for years never felt so good as I did after my Reflexology treatment. I recommend anyone that is stressed out to try this.

If the sides of big toe nail are red and puffy, you might be suffering from an ingrown toenail conditioner. We recommend that you either go to a Podiatrist to have that looked at because this can be infected and cause you worse problems. Truly you can’t mess with your feet. We service many male customers and we see this condition often. With a monthly maintenance with spa pedicures, this help remedy this problem and our golfers, doctors, and runners really appreciate that they do not have to maintain their feet for themselves like we and they feel much better after our pedicures.

I couldn’t wait to share this recipe with you. It is scrumptious!

A friend of mine shared this with me and I thought I would try it. It has a bit of southwest flair to it and normally I don’t go to far out of my recipe box with this type of food but I did and WOW! I ate almost the whole bowl. It’s good it’s low calorie so eat up my friends.

Here it is: Corn and Avocado Salad

2 large cans of corn (Del Monte)

1 large ripe avocado

1 small red onion (I don’t use much because I don’t like bad breath however; you use as much as you want)

1 can of black beans

1 large tomato cut into small cubes

add a bunch of cilantro

add a bunch of basil (I love basil so I added a lot)

1/4 cup of virgin olive oil

2 tbsp of champaign vinegar but if you don’t have this just use your red vinegar

pinch of kosher salt

pinch of black pepper

swish it all together and you have a side dish or make it a meal and share with some friends. This tastes great on salad.

the health benefits of avocados are numerous to mention however; I will be happy to list a few

1. great for moisturizing and nourishing your skin to a healthy glow

2. aids in preventing breast cancer

3. aids in lowering blood pressure

4. has 25 essential nutrients such as vitamin A, B, C, K, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, and Potassium. Imagine eating 2-3 bananas to the equivalent of 1 avocado.

5. improves a heart because of the Vitamin B6 and folic acid this helps lower the homocysteine which is associated with heart disease. for more healthy information about Avocados go to http://www.healthonlinezine.info/health-benefits-of-avocados.html

Enjoy!! say thanks to Jayson for the recipe

Remember the movie “The 40-Year-Year-Old Virgin”, with Steve Carell  howling when the esthetician ripped off the strip with mounds of hair attached to it?

The new age male has embraced his image and his lack of enthusiasm for all of the hair that continues to expand on their bodies. The new age male really has a great desire for a smooth body that shows the rippling of his abs as he struts his stuff on the beach or the pool watching over his children. I had to say it! Our new males are dads, entrepreneurs, lawyers, bankers, mechanics, postman, and the ultimate husband with a new self image. The reason I know this is because men really express their concerns with hair growing out of their ears, their noses and in places that they just don’t like to pay attention to on a daily basis.

If your male parts are overwhelmed with hair that is out of control, it wouldn’t be unnatural to call Indulge Salon of York PA to have the esthetician provide an assessment to wax all of those areas for a clean appearance and less to manage. She does this all of the time and is an expert at it. For the creepy’s, this is not the place for you. We are a professional establishment that provides hair removal services and good advice to help our males maintain their grooming experience. If you even think for one minute to try a maneuver other than having a professional hair removal service, you will be removed immediately. Now that we have that cleared up, let’s get back to why you chose to read my blog on this topic.

Some men find it uncomfortable to ask questions about how to manage their man grooming, however; this is what we do at Indulge Salon on S. George Street, York PA. We specialize in handling these curious questions and take the uncomfortable out of the situation and have a good discussion on what their options are for the amount of hair to remove say on the back, chest, arms, legs and of course the private areas that need managed. We are not the blush type of staff. We are here to educate and provide sources and answers to your questions.  We are now facing the David Beckhams to the well built males of “Jersey Shore” that are perfectly groomed male celebrities. It’s the new masculinity era.

With so many men concerned about their overall look it should come as no surprise that waxing for men has increased. Policemen are highly concerned more than other professional industries. I know, surprising isn’t it? Professional men want to experiment with treatments below the belt with a salon that they trust. They prefer confidentiality of their needs and wants for a clean appearance. The seem to want to have a cleaner appearance to be beach ready. Awareness around the grooming for the body has certainly increased this past year. The single and younger male expects to have their eyebrows groomed and shaped every 3-4 weeks, especially if they have fast growing hair that grows into a unibrow. Brow waxing has grown for all age groups. go to

Overall, less hair can ENHANCE the shape and size of him. So why not? We also give some products to help stunt the hair growth after the Male Brazilian is complete. These products will reduce shaving irritation, and help manage the long term maintenance of their newly waxed skin and also prevent ingrown hairs. We use a variety of waxes such as hard wax which happens to be more gentle on sensitive skin or if it is the first time being waxed. Pricing will run from $80 – $125.00+ depending on the areas being waxed in hair density. Obviously, the more hair per square inch the more wax and skill is needed to make the hair heed to being removed. The courser the hair will require a different type of wax. Its not just about slathering on wax and ripping off the strip but the artistry required to bring shape and an expert to the table for a superb result. Bring along some reading material, some strong alcohol if you need and get ready for a clean and NEW You. She will appreciate the experience.
